Bridal Make-up Tips for Latinas

When choosing a look for your wedding day, keep in mind that the make-up tone you choose should bring out the best in you. A fresh, sun-kissed look is the perfect approach when putting on make-up on your special day. Here are some beauty tips that can help you avoid beauty fiascos on your wedding day:

Be Proud of your Hispanic Beauty

Before grabbing a stick of lip gloss or dabbing on some blush, it’s important to be comfortable in your own skin. As a Latina, being comfortable with your natural skin tone can help you make better decisions when it comes to make-up tips.

Foundation Tips

Many Latinas are known for their yellowish or orangey undertones. The best foundation for you are those that have a yellow-orange base. If you think putting on foundation is too much of a hassle, opt for tinted moisturizers that closely match your skin tone. Then make sure to blend the foundation properly to avoid that “cakey” look.

Lip Color Tips

Most Latinas are known for their dark-toned lips. To make your lips look lovelier on your wedding day, go for lipsticks with deep tones. These can include plums, browns, sheer beiges, and rich reds. But don’t go overboard with your overall look. If you’re planning to use dark or rich-colored eyeshadow, then balance the tone by using a lighter shade of lipstick.

Eye Color Tips

Latinas with yellowish or orangey undertones look best in coppers, bronze, and browns. But don’t be limited by these shades. You can always experiment with a variety of eye colors. Just make sure that the tones you choose will complement your skin tone. Also make sure that the eye colors you choose won’t overwhelm your entire look.

Hiring a professional make-up artist is the best way to go when opting for a specific look on your wedding day. Because it’s your special day, let a professional do all the work while you sit down and enjoy all the pampering and beautifying rituals. To help you get that perfect bridal look, looking at bridal and fashion magazines is a good idea.
